It's unlikely they'd drop support any time soon, but even if they eventually did, all characters and gear would still have to be displayable on the PS3 version. Dropping support just means not releasing expansions for it. But the base game itself, ARR, is released for PS3, so all characters and gear that can exist within ARR areas will always need to be PS3 compatible. It's only features that could be limited to new expansion regions only that would be able to drop support for older systems.

Ps3 was the worst thing to happen to this game. They made a promise I get that but in the process they have screwed everyone else over.

Well, having ps3 support at the onset did require them to make a good controller setup.

They did an amazing job with that, and I personally prefer to play on the controller even though I'm on PC.

You know, I'd like you to talk individually to each and every FFXIV subscriber who started on PS3, or on a PC with less than stellar capabilities and ask them whether or not scaling back the game's hardware requirements was a good idea. The PS3 work allowed them (SE's devs) to make a game that could play on a far, far wider range of PCs than would ever have been the case otherwise. Far from being a disaster, the PS3 support encouraged their developers to be frugal with their use of hardware in the game client. Another way to say this would be to say efficient. I'd rather have that than a bloated monstrosity that runs great on a 2016 mid range gaming rig, but runs like crap on consumer PCs and not at all on consoles.
